Is the oil is certified organic, does that mean it is also hexane free? Mine is certified organic, but there is no mention of "hexane free."
ReplyAurelie I buy my coconut oil at Costco and it is hexane free. I just checked.
ReplyNancy I belong to Costco too! What size jar does it come in? :-)
Thank you Joy for clarifying this and the facts about Coconut Oil. I just bought LouAnn's from Walmart and have used it for a while now. Knowing what I do now, I'll return the new one I bought and will look at Costco (recommended by Nancy - another commenter). You are the best. LG
Replyhow do you do coconut butter?
ReplyHi Susana, Do you mean where do we get it? I usually get mine at the health food store, although some grocery stores do carry it. In terms of using coconut butter, check out the coconut butter graphic at the top of this post for some great ideas. Kate - Joyous Health Team
Can you use coconut butter for beauty like you can the oil?
ReplyHi Hayleigh, You'll want to stick with coconut oil for beauty uses. Coconut butter still contains coconut flesh, so it's a very different product. Kate - Joyous Health Team
I Use it as a face or body moisturizer. Many women use it to improve and to prevent the appearance of stretch marks.Coconut oil has many reported benefits. It is associated with specific positive health effects and can act as an aid in certain body functions.

I don't mind the gridyness goodness of the butter I just figure it's kind of like an exfoliant if you use it in the shower is it okay to use coconut butter on your body does it have the same effects and benefits if not more?
Hey John, We typically just use Coconut Butter in food around here but you can definitely use it topically if you wish! Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Where can I get Coconut Butter? Which brands do you recommend?
ReplyHi Jann! Most major grocery stores carry it now (in the organic section). You can also find it at most health foods stores. Artisana is a great brand to look for :) Heather- Joyous Health Team
PS. I found the Artisana Organic raw Coconut butter @ GROCERY OUTLET $4.95..I.used it on my body not bad.. hope it has same affects
ReplyHey Ophelia! That's great! You are welcome to use coconut oil as a skin moisturizer as well (except not on your face, as it tends to clog the pores too much) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Hi there, I was looking at the nutiva brand of coconut oil. They changed the package and it doesn’t say it hexane free. Is it still good or there are other oil?
ReplyI'm not sure, I would recommend contacting the company directly and asking them. If it's a certified organic product then hexane would not be allowed.
